Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our study in the book of Lamentations. Lamentations 1 presented the foundational realities that we must accept in regards to our suffering in this life. In chapter 2 Jeremiah expands on the trials of the people in Jerusalem, but we begin to see the glimmers of hope in how God deals with His people. In this …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg leads us into a new series called, “How?!” Over the next 5 weeks we’ll walk together through the book of Lamentations. We know God is in control of all things. But, sometimes, we look around and we struggle to feel it. How can we faithfully follow Jesus when we are struggling to see through the difficulty of …
Pastor Ron Eckberg concludes a mini-series on church membership. Being a member of a church means far more than waiving a membership card or pledging our allegiance to a flag. It means living a life of sacrifice and service for the purpose of furthering the Kingdom of God and His church. “The Kingdom of God”, Paul wrote to the Corinthians, …
Pastor Ron Eckberg begins begins a 2-week mini-series on our role as members of the body of Christ. As followers of Christ (and therefore members of the universal church ) we are called to submit to the authority of a local church. With that membership comes a calling to sacrifice and service. But if we come with the right understanding …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg finishes our series in the current section of the gospel of Matthew with a message titled, “The King is Coming!” In Matthew 24 Jesus called on his followers to be wise about his return but to not be deceived by the evil that exists in the meantime.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues to lead us through the book of Matthew in our series, “All Hail the King.” Most of us would, in at least one situation in life, to know the future. But we never really know what’s going to happen next. In Matthew 24 Jesus reminds us of a long-term promise, but gives us some short-term instructions …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches from Matthew 23 in our current series, “All Hail the King.” The more regular a task becomes, the easier it is to do it without thought or intention. As we live out our faith, we ought never to practice thoughtless religion. But how do we protect our minds and hearts? We find the answer in Jesus’ …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the next lesson in our study through the Gospel of Matthew. When a powerful force collides with something of greater strength, which one wins? In Matthew 22:23-46 we find another round of Jesus interacting with the religious leaders of Israel. Here Jesus shows His sovereignty over their self-centered interpretations of the law. In doing so, He explains …
Pastor Jonathan Eckberg brings us back into our study through the Gospel of Matthew. The appearance and existence of power are often two different things. What appears to be strong may, in fact, lack any power at all. In Matthew 22:15-22, Jesus shows us the nature of true power as He rejects the appearance of the religious leaders’ authority.
EEFC Elder, Jon Brands, brings our weekly message. For the past few weeks we’ve talked about living faithfully in the face of lifes trials and struggles. We do by seeking to live righteously before the Lord. But what, exactly, does that look like. In Psalm 1 we get a beautiful picture of the life of the righteous person and instructions …
